Lloret de Mar VTC driver accused of license plate manipulation

A video circulating on social media has sparked allegations of illegal transport services and license plate manipulation in Lloret de Mar. The controversy stems from footage shared by the @elitetaxi account, which appears to show a driver switching between a white license plate, used for private vehicles, and a blue plate, which is mandatory for VTC (ride-hailing) and taxi services.

According to reports from local taxi professionals, the incident involved a vehicle allegedly performing a paid trip from a hotel to Barcelona airport without proper authorization. Witnesses claim the driver attempted to evade detection by swapping the plates during a police intervention near a local nightclub. Furthermore, allegations have surfaced on social media regarding the use of duplicate blue plates and the use of transport authorizations from other provinces to operate illegally in the Barcelona area.

While the video has triggered significant debate among transport workers regarding insurance validity and unauthorized services, the specific legality of the vehicle in the footage has not yet been officially verified by authorities.
